The two seem to be two different things  :lol: I had an almost one hour talk about everything with my diabetes dietitien yesterday and she said the same as you just did cugila <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I haven't given up on me losing weight, I was a little diflated a few weeks ago when I stepped on the scales and had lost no weight at all. But as long as I am not putting more weight on I am somewhat happy ... for now <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />I've been more worried about getting my BG under control and I am well on the way of doing that thanks to Byetta and the rest of the pills I take (yuck).Now it's time to concentrate once more on losing this weight one stone at a time and I will do it, no matter how long it takes.As for the band, I say if you're offered this procedure, take it. It is not a quick fix though. You will still have to diet and exercise as before, but it will help a lot from what I have read/been told. I was very much against it because of the things my best friend had told me, who had it done herself privately and had a lot of trouble with it. But I researched more and read a lot about and did find some horror stories, but the the way I see it, there are always good and bad experiences in everything.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
